Robot Hall of Fame
The result was KEEP. Two word delete entries do not help raise consensus. Please try to raise more compelling arguments, or reference policy or something. Saying "non-noteable award" and "per above" are more in the spirit of voting than in the spirit of discussion, and I think most people want to move away from a sheer vote. Not only do the keeps outnumber the deletes, but their arguments are clearer and more compelling.-Andrew c [talk] 05:02, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-noteable award. Dalejenkins 19:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. ~EdBoy[c] 20:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep 150K GHits, over 100 Google News Archive Hits, and 4 interwiki links. Its the very definition of notability. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 21:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The article does need to be expanded, but there is verifiable information present in multiple sources independant of the organisation itself, which can be used for expansion. Keep. -- saberwyn 23:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Norton and Saberwyn. Carnegie-Mellon started this to draw attention to robotics, and as Norton points out, it's notable. Mandsford 02:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Cannot really cite a compelling reason to delete. Modestly notable.  Adrian  M. H.  21:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Robotics Institute, a division of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Presumably they are responsible for this coordinating this activity. (sdsds - talk) 05:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment We shouldn't do merges based on hunches. The website says "... ceremony conducted by Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science in association with the Robotics Institute and the Entertainment Technology Center." --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
